Well, Christmas & New Year came and went - it was wonderful to see such a change in the atmosphere at the Half Moon. Redecorating is well under way with a replacement of the brown lino at the top bar with some very attractive wooden flooring and new light fittings have been added throughout. The interior (whilst not yet completed) has been painted, has had new curtains installed, new beer pumps and much of the woodwork has been stripped back to give a lighter finish. The overall effect is a much brighter and cleaner look. From what people have said I think that 'the regulars' are very happy with the improvements that have been made and also by the time, effort and money that Sam & Chris are investing into the pub.

Children's Play Area

For The Kids : To the rear of the pub is an open grassy area where you will find a climbing frame and picnic tables. From here you can watch your kids play on the swings whilst you partake in a drink (or two) and maybe something to eat!
 

Welcome to the Halfmoon Inn

Situated just a few hundred yards off the A164 (see village map), the Halfmoon Inn is a popular venue for locals as well as visitors to the village. Built over three hundred and thirty years ago as a coaching inn, it is rumoured that some of the original brickwork is made up of material from Hull's old city wall.

Renowned for its 'man-sized' filled Yorkshire Puddings, the Halfmoon Inn is a friendly pub which boasts a number of activities throughout the week including live music and quiz nights.

A fine selection of beers, wines and spirits are available over the bar. More recently, Sam & Chris have introduced a new selection of ales & guest ales including Old Speckled Hen, Theakston's Old Peculiar and Black Sheep. There is a tap-room to the side, where small parties and functions can be held - a buffet service is available if food is required.

The food at the Half Moon has always had a good reputation, but I have to say (from personal experience) that it has got a whole lot better since it came under Chris & Sam's management. Yorkshire Puddings are still on the menu, but you can also get a selection of alternative homemade traditional fayre.

Recently, we have seen the introduction of a 'Steak Night' when there are a selection of cuts of steak on offer including sirloin, rump, t-bone, fillet and gammon - Your preferred cut is served up with HUGE homemade steak-chips, mushrooms, peas and a slice of tomato. Live entertainment is also laid on to set the atmosphere. However, these evenings are very popular and tables are by reservation only.

A daily changing specials board is on display offering the option of something a little different from the standard menu
